Cape Town – One Direction singer Harry Styles is making his big acting debut in Christopher Nolan's new World War II flick.

Dunkirk will tell the story of the difficult evacuation of the Allied forces from the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk, France, in June 1940 which Sir Winston Churchill - the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at the time - described as a "miracle of deliverance".

We've seen pictures of Styles on set and now there's finally a teaser trailer available.

If you're looking to see any of the story (we mean Styles) you'll be a bit disappointed.

The teaser reveals some chilling footage set against a grey skies, bodies lying on shore and the last shot of scared soldiers on a ship ducking for cover.

Watch it here:

The film also stars: Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance and Kenneth Branagh and will be released in 2017.
